Description
Read Receipt is used to notify the sender that "the recipient has read the sent message". When the recipient reads the message, a read message is reported, the backend system will generate a notification to inform the sender that the message has been viewed.
In instant messaging tools (WhatsApp, WeChat, etc.), when the recipient views the message, the sender will see a read receipt next to the message, such as a blue check mark or the word "read".
Note:
"Receipt" means "Reply Receipt", which represents a credential for confirming receipt. When you send a message and request a receipt, you are actually asking the other party "I want to confirm whether you have received and read my message". This confirmation is like a "receipt", proving that your message has been received.
Read receipts help ensure important messages has been viewed but can also cause psychological stress and privacy issues. Therefore, we support users to turn off the read receipt feature.
